Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering Company (Pipavav) said that the joint venture (JV) can go ahead and carry on the business on open and transparent basis.
The company said that the JV implements its vision of executing the contracts without any time and cost overrun received through appropriate transparent mechanism. The JV will also focus on working on other large and complex projects both meant for Indian Navy and friendly navies of the world, the company said.
Government lifting of hold vindicates the vision and decision of Ministry of Defence (MoD) to form JV between Mazagon Dock and Pipavav in a completely transparent manner, which will immensely benefit Indian Navy, Coast Guard and other clients, Pipavav added.
In 2011, Pipavav announced that it was selected by the MoD as its JV partner for building warships for the Indian Navy. Pipavav had said it would form a JV company with Mazagon Dock, a company controlled by the MoD, for building warships. The JV was to be named as Mazagon Dock Pipavav.
Later some media reports suggested that L&T, along with other private shipbuilders like ABG Shipyard and Bharathi Shipyard, had expressed disappointment at the way the deal was struck between Pipavav and Mazagon Dock. They alleged total lack of expertise and track record of Mazagon Dock's partner of choice viz. Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering Company.
Following the allegations, the Defence Ministry had to put on hold the JV between Pipavav and Mazagon Dock to build warships and submarines.
